1. WHAT KIND OF MEDIA
INSTITUTION MIGHT DISTRIBUTE
MY MEDIA PRODUCT AND
WHY?
by Tom Fearon

2. BLUMHOUSE PRODUCTIONS
Blumhouse Productions is an American movie production
company, founded in the early 2000’s and run by Jason Blum. It is a
multi-media production company that has pioneered a new
model of studio filmmaking, producing high quality micro budget
films. Its model is to produce movies independently and then
release them wide through the studio system.

4. PARANORMAL ACTIVITY
Paranormal Activity is a 2007 American
supernatural horror film written, co-
produced, photographed, edited, and
directed by Oren Peli.
Paranormal activity was one of their first
major films and was the next biggest film to
use hand held cameras.
I can compare my film to Paranormal
Activity as it also uses hand held cameras.
This means that Blumhouse Productions
would be very comfortable to go ahead
with my film.

5. INSIDIOUS
Insidious is a 2010 American supernatural
horror film directed by James Wan, written
by Leigh Whannell.
Insidious was very successful costing $1.5
million to make and grossing nearly $100
million.
I can compare my film to Insidious as the
poster looks a lot like the end part of my
opening sequence. This is very useful as
Blumhouse Productions will have no trouble
creating a front cover for my film and
improving the titles.

6. SINISTER
Sinister is a 2012 supernatural horror film
directed by Scott Derrickson and written by
Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill.
Sinister was made after both Paranormal
Activity and Insidious and was released in
the United States on October 12, 2012, and
in the UK on October 5, 2012.
I can compare my film to Sinister because
the film is based around video clips found in
a haunted house. I want my film to have
the similar feel of a haunted house so I
believe that Blumhouse Productions would
be able to execute my idea with ease.

7. WHY BLUMHOUSE PRODUCTIONS?
I believe that Blumhouse Productions would be the best media
institution for my film as they are specialists in my genre and take on
low budget films which I believe my film would be. They have also
had a lot of success with previous films. For example, ‘Paranormal
Activity’ was the most profitable film in Hollywood history grossing
close to $200 million worldwide after being made for $15,000. I think
that if they went ahead with my film they could turn it into a very
successful horror film.
The three films that I have looked at all have sequels which is
another reason why I think that Blumhouse would be the best choice
for me. If my film is successful then I can guarantee that they will be
able to produce a sequel.
